Why teams connect Datadog and Google AlloyDB

Keep Google AlloyDB and Datadog in step: the rows in your database and the Service Level Objectives, Hosts, Monitors, Logs your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Google AlloyDB is where your application's durable data lives; Datadog is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Replication Slots, Databases, Schemas, Tables in Google AlloyDB with Service Level Objectives, Hosts, Monitors, Logs in Datadog field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Migrate workloads from self-managed Postgres while keeping existing syncs pointed at a compatible endpoint.
  • 02 Mirror CRM objects into AlloyDB tables so product and internal tools query customer data with plain SQL.
  • 03 Load Events and Incidents into a warehouse to correlate deploys, alerts, and outages on one timeline for post-incident review.
  • 04 Pull the Hosts inventory into a CMDB or database for asset tracking, tag hygiene, and cost allocation across teams.

Common sync patterns

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Datadog arrive as row changes in Google AlloyDB, and writes to Google AlloyDB propagate to Datadog within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

Where Datadog manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Datadog stay matched to the users or owners table in Google AlloyDB, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in Google AlloyDB creates or updates the matching record in Datadog, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

What you can sync between Datadog and Google AlloyDB

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Datadog objects Google AlloyDB objects How this pairing syncs
Hosts Infrastructure host inventory with tags and metadata from the v1 host list API; loaded into a CMDB or warehouse for asset tracking, and hosts can be muted or unmuted via the API. Views Curated projections used as read-only sync sources. Hosts is specific to Datadog and Views to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Monitors Alert definitions with query, thresholds, and current state via the v1 Monitors API, which supports full create, update, and delete; Stacksync reads alert state into a warehouse or provisions and updates monitors from a config source. Materialized Views Precomputed aggregates refreshed and synced outward on a schedule. Monitors is specific to Datadog and Materialized Views to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logs Log events searched via the v2 Logs search endpoint by time window and submittable through the log intake API; commonly streamed to a warehouse for retention beyond Datadog's storage period. Indexes Keep sync key lookups fast on high-volume tables. Logs is specific to Datadog and Indexes to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events The event stream (deploys, alerts, comments) searched via the v2 Events endpoint and posted via POST /api/v1/events; used to correlate deploy and incident timelines or to publish deploy and pipeline events into Datadog. Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Events is specific to Datadog and Sequences to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dashboards Dashboard definitions and widgets via the v1 Dashboards API with full CRUD; exported for backup and audit, or created and updated programmatically from a source of truth. Replication Slots Logical replication artifacts that back log-based change capture. Dashboards is specific to Datadog and Replication Slots to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Time-series metrics queried in aggregate windows through the query API and submitted via POST /api/v1/series; individual raw points cannot be extracted beyond retention. Databases Standard PostgreSQL databases within an AlloyDB cluster that syncs connect to. Metrics is specific to Datadog and Databases to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Datadog and Google AlloyDB

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Datadog Google AlloyDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionDatadog notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with time-windowed search queries on Logs and Events (timestamp cursor).

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Google AlloyDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Google AlloyDB Datadog Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google AlloyDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Datadog through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Datadog: Per-endpoint limits return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit/-Remaining/-Period/-Reset headers. Log ingestion and metric submission are not rate limited; search endpoints such as Logs and Events queries carry quotas that Datadog Support can raise.
  • Google AlloyDB: No API-style rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance size.

How the Datadog and Google AlloyDB connectors work

Datadog

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2)
Authentication
API key (DD-API-KEY) plus an Application key (DD-APPLICATION-KEY) sent as request headers; application keys are tied to the creating user and inherit that user's permissions and authorization scopes.
Change detection
Polling with time-windowed search queries on Logs and Events (timestamp cursor); monitor alerts can also push via the Webhooks notification integration. No modified-date CDC on mutable objects.
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Per-endpoint limits return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit/-Remaining/-Period/-Reset headers. Log ingestion and metric submission are not rate limited; search endpoints such as Logs and Events queries carry quotas that Datadog Support can raise.

Google AlloyDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible), with connectivity through the AlloyDB Auth Proxy or private IP
Authentication
Database credentials or IAM database authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication; polling on timestamp columns as a fallback
Capabilities
